Learn how to harness the emotional and cognitive power of music. Participants will leave with a working knowledge of what kinds of music produce certain behaviors, how to use music while reading to children, and how to use music for increased focus and inner peace.

Explore an adult strategy of reconstructing the story sequence of an adult picture book and what kinds of clues/evidence you have to use to look for repeating themes, patterns and sequence. Participants will then be able to take this strategy and use it with young children. Learn what "Visual Literacy" is and how it helps shape our life experiences.
